Palak Dal Curry

This is a simple, yet delicious vegetable curry you can prepare with ease.. It is made using the nutritious palak leaves which are rich in vitamins and the yummy red lentils which are highly protienatious.This is a curry which goes well with plain rice and can be made often to let your little ones have their share of green leafy veg with out much faces made nor too much of coaxing...

Preparation:Wash the palak leaves properly and drain. Cut it into small pieces and keep aside. Wash the lentils and cook it in a pot or cooker adding 1/2 cup of water and turmeric powder, until done.(almost 15 min in pot). Heat a sauce pan or wok and add oil to it. Now add the cumin seeds and garlic and saute in low heat. Add the cooked lentils to this and add the rest of water. Increase the heat and when it starts to boil add salt, slit green chillies, tomato and the diced palak leaves. Cook it in medium heat keeping the saucepan covered until the palak leaves get cooked properly. Now add the coconut milk and remove from heat before it starts to boil. The curry should be thick and not watery. Serve hot with basmathi or motta rice.

What is special about this blog

This space is a humble attempt at compiling my culinary adventures in Kerala recipes, Indian recipes and beyond... You would often find a nostalgic touch to the dishes I cook up.. that's how I feel about homely food. Somewhere somehow I would have wandered away from traditional recipes and made my own innovations.. I wouldn't advice you to strictly follow by the exact amount of spices and ingredients as such. U can make your own alterations based on your taste and tolerance to spices..
